PSG v Monaco: Luis Enrique sets out an ambitious target | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, was at a press conference this Tuesday before facing AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes tomorrow (kick-off at 9 PM, broadcast on Canal+) as part of the second leg playoffs (2-3 in the first leg) of the 2025-2026 Champions League. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Luis Enrique "It's important for confidence and for the team"

Does the victory against Metz help to build confidence?

There are always problems. One might think a match will be easy, but it has nothing to do with reality. Every match is difficult. We handled the match very well, with players who don't play often. We took advantage of being at home, playing, with a brilliant start. It's important for confidence and for the team to know that everyone is up to the level.

But tomorrow will be different. There's the positive result from the first leg, but Monaco has nothing to lose. We have to know that there will be difficult moments in the match.

Luis Enrique "The goal is to win the first half, to win the second half."

Monaco turned the game around against Lens on Saturday, is that something to keep in mind?

It's hard to know what's best, their result is wonderful but we also have to stay calm. Every match is different. That one showed their level. We know the difficulty in this competition. We'll be at the Parc, the atmosphere will be important to create the environment to play and control the match. The goal is to win the first half, to win the second half. It's a mentality we want to work on in every match.
